I understand everything that you say and I respect where you're coming from. The issue here is one of emphasis. To make the point about the feedlot, the author draws a contrast between finishing the cattle in confinement versus pasture and has used the word 'finish' in explaining the difference. It's simply a matter of staying closer to the author's intention - and answering the asker's question directly.
I agree that the idea is to "finish" the animals but nowadays the process basically involves keeping and fattening them in the feedlot for much longer than the final "finishing" phase

the latest trend is feed lots where you confine the cattle to a small area and power-feed them

poor things don't get out to grass but in economic terms it's more efficient and profitable

A feedlot or feedyard is a type of animal feeding operation (AFO) which is used in factory farming for finishing livestock, notably beef cattle, but also swine, horses, sheep, turkeys, chickens or ducks, prior to slaughter. Large beef feedlots are called Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs).[1] They may contain thousands of animals in an array of pens. Most feedlots require some type of governmental permit and must have plans in place to deal with the large amount of waste that is generated. The Environmental Protection Agency has authority under the Clean Water Act to regulate all animal feeding operations in the United States. This authority is delegated to individual states in some cases.[2]
